I have following JSON string which is received from an external party.
{
"team":[
{
"v1":"",
"attributes":{
"eighty_min_score":"",
"home_or_away":"home",
"score":"22",
"team_id":"500"
}
},
{
"v1":"",
"attributes":{
"eighty_min_score":"",
"home_or_away":"away",
"score":"30",
"team_id":"600"
}
}
]
}
My mapping classes:
public class Attributes
{
public string eighty_min_score { get; set; }
public string home_or_away { get; set; }
public string score { get; set; }
public string team_id { get; set; }
}
public class Team
{
public string v1 { get; set; }
public Attributes attributes { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public List<Team> team { get; set; }
}
The question is that I don't like the Attributes
class name and the attributes
field names in the Team
class. Instead, I want it to be named TeamScore
and also to remove _
from the field names and give proper names.
JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(jsonText);
I can rename Attributes
to TeamScore
, but if I change the field name (attributes
in the Team
class), it won't deserialize properly and gives me null
. How can I overcome this?
Json.NET has a JsonPropertyAttribute
which allows you to specify the name of a JSON property, so your code should be:
public class TeamScore
{
[JsonProperty("eighty_min_score")]
public string EightyMinScore { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("home_or_away")]
public string HomeOrAway { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("score ")]
public string Score { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("team_id")]
public string TeamId { get; set; }
}
public class Team
{
public string v1 { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("attributes")]
public TeamScore TeamScores { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public List<Team> Team { get; set; }
}
